This edited comment received a lot of attention in the blogosphere and the media. The Washington Times had to print an apology for publishing an editorial using the edited comments (h/t ThinkProgress). As usual for these wingnuts, if you can’t beat them then resort to lying, stealing, cheating and editing.
